Lyrics Ride The Lightning - Metallica

Ride The Lightning

Guilty as charged, but damn it, it ain’t right
There’s someone else controlling me
Death in the air, strapped in the electric chair
This can’t be happening to me
Who made you God to say
«I'll take your life from you?»
Flash before my eyes
Now it’s time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Wait for the sign to flick the switch of death
It’s the beginning of the end
Sweat, chilling cold, as I watch death unfold
Consciousness, my only friend
My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?
Flash before my eyes
Now it’s time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Someone help me
Oh please, God, help me!
They’re trying to take it all away
I don’t want to die
Someone help me
Oh please, God, help me!
They’re trying to take it all away
I don’t want to die
Time moving slow, the minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see
How true is this?
Just get it over with
If this is true, just let it be
Wakened by a horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream
Flash before my eyes
Now it’s time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
